Welcome in July / Upcoming Changes
Added 2024-07-02 12:01:16 +0000 UTCHello Hexxet here,
Welcome in July! Thank you for your continued support and a hearty welcome to all newcomers.
Stories of July:
The lost Temple in July continues and gets a bonus chapter! We have not yet reached Stage two of this story, and Mika will be stronger in this Bonus chapter, so it's not really canon but I wanted to write this for a long time now so now I'm doing it! :). (You can also see it as canon just in the future of the comic ^^). Anyway, in the normal chapter Mika will study the warlock's spell and progress the story up to the student party in the evening. And the bonus chapter will offer an alternate take to said party as Mika encounters Emma - the blind girl. The Bonus chapter will be Interactive, so you can decide what to do with Emma! :)
3D Stories of July:
The three running series "LEXI", "Post Hypnotic Chore List" and "Transform or Command" smoothly continue on. (The fourth story is a bonus chapter to "The lost Temple", see above).
AI Comics of July:
The Last Boob Bender goes into the final round of its "Battle Royale" Arc as the last two Benders on earth duel it out! "Remote Beach? - Beach Remote" continues with its second and final part. These two are very transformation heavy.
And then we have the "IP³ at the Pool" which deals with cock worshiping in yet another comic style and "The Blitzdings" returns and will deal with the consequences of the Neuralyzer (so pure MC).
Release Schedule:
03.07.2024: The Last Boob Bender 11
05.07.2024: LEXI – Smart Home Assistant 2 (Afficionado Story)
10.07.2024: Remote Beach? – Beach Remote! – Part 2
12.07.2024: Transform or Command 12 (Enthusiast Story)
17.07.2024: The Lost Temple – 17 – Main Story Chapter
19.07.2024: The Lost Temple – Special – The Party
24.07.2024: The Irresistible Potent Penis Potion at the Pool (Free PAI of July)
27.07.2024: Post Hypnotic Chore List – 05

For a more detailed description of the various stories released in July please have a look at the Outlook July Post.
PS: Please note that I've switched "The Last Boob Bender" with "The IP³" in comparison to the Outlook post because I want to poll you about whether or not to continue the Bender Chronicles.
New Patreon Tiers / Homepage Plugin / Archive and more:
There will be a few changes concerning the archive of 3D Side Stories. Mainly to make accessing them better - I hope. Note that the current system of Lifetime Support to unlock older comics will stay in place. (Every 12€ unlocks one month of comics from the archive until everything is unlocked of course). Here is what will be new once Patreon let's me edit my Tiers again... (So, probably tomorrow):
Full Access: 42€
The full access tier is back. This Tier grants access to all 3D Comics and AI Comics on the homepage. Please note that I'd actually like to include the archive in a longer purchase of membership months but this is not supported by Patreon tech. However I plan to implement a manual option for yearly Patrons of the Connoisseur or PAI Support Tier. (See below) And once I get my Payment Gateway running I hope to offer more professional options for that.
Yearly Connoisseur / PAI Supporters:
I now have a plugin on my homepage with which I can gate my Content myself. (I still have no payment gateway, but I can use it to give yearly Patrons more rights). --> Yearly Patrons will get access rights with this plugin on the homepage - granting them full archive access to my 3D Comics. (Yearly PAI Supporters therefore have full Access). PS: I need to assign this by hand, so access will only work once I assign it, not directly on Patreon sign up.
No More Time Travel Support Tier:
This Tier seems obsolete with the new options and will only confuse new Patrons, so I will set it to deprecated. If you currently are in this you can stay to keep unlocking the archive via Lifetime Support faster, or you can switch to another Tier of your liking.
Archiving:
I've stopped archiving my comics these past months cause I was hoping to get my payment gateway to work etc. Also, I did a work around for yearly members so that they would have full access, but it's dirty (cause not possible otherwise with Patreon tech). With the implementation of the new Full Access Tier and that new option for Yearly Members I will restart archiving older 3D Comics and reset the comic access rights with the end of July. I will give Homepage access rights to all Yearly Patrons by hand so they have full access on the homepage.
Running Series like ToC and LEXI will stay accessible throughout their runtime but other comics will be archived once the succeeding month is over.
Future Plans:
I'm in contact with a Payment gateway and I hope to have a contract soon. It's just really astounding how long it takes a bank to create a valid contract... Once I have my Payment gateway I will launch my Shop on the homepage which will just be a replacement for the Gumroad-Shop offering all my comics/series as single purchases for people who don't like Memberships.
I will also try to get my membership plugin on the homepage running but this might be more complicated than the shop so it will probably take a little longer. Once that works out I hope to offer better Full Access deals than the Patreon Full Access Tier.
Surprise Story: Preparing four side stories in advance each month is a bit rigid and sometimes I just want to add something on the fly. Also, I want to shift focus a bit towards more AI comics and maybe other experimental formats. For this purpose I will change the 4 3D-side story concept to 3-3D-Side Stories + one Surprise Comic. This Comic can be anything from 3D-Comic, to AI-Comic. Please note: This won't be a reduction in content, it will just give me one flexible slot per month to try new stuff, or put in stories on the fly I want feedback on. (But there will probably be more AI content in the future).
Commissions:
Just a reminder that I still accept 3D or AI Comic Commissions, if people are interested.
Poll Results:
In June we had several polls, here is what I take with me from their results:
AI Reworks:
This one turned out better than anticipated. 21% of you wouldn't mind me reworking an older series as part of one of the four story releases, and 47% more enjoyed them. Now, this is not a result that leads me a rework wave but a rework now and then is not off the table, maybe some time in the future as the surprise story of a month :)
Remote Beach? Beach Remote!:
Most of those who voted liked the new comic style used in this comic and I'll try adding it to my AI Graphics repertoire :).
The majority voted against the comic's format (a collection of pinups), so this is something I won't do in the future. (Part 2 is already done and will be released as is, but from now on, no more such pinup collections as part of standard releases)
Quite some people liked the Embarrassed-Screaming Females in this comic, but there were also some voices that it was too much. From that I'll take that the display of more such emotions is in general something that adds to a comic of such a genre but maybe in lesser dose. (I also noticed that such negative emotions add to a comic like Transform or Command, where more negative emotions are shown than in my other 3D Comics). I'll see what I come up with int he future :)
So, the majority voted for "this was the perfect breast size for a BE comic" which is my opinion as well. But there were also quite a few who said they were too big... which confuses me a little. I mean sure, less is more realistic... but it's a BE comic... Anyway, I take form this: "Not bigger than that!" ^^
The Itty Bitty Titty Committee:
There were actually quite a few who liked this story which makes me very happy :). Though the majority would have preferred something more sexual -> So I will keep that in mind. To those who did not like this series: "Sorry! Sometimes I just have an idea and want to go through with it even if it's outside of my usual genre... Especially when I think it's funny ^^".
The breast shrinking was at best not disliked, but we already knew that from previous polls, so yeah... I'll keep it in mind to not make it a major topic in the future again. (Though I still like breast shrinking especially in combination with BE, so it will occur from time to time!)
The other poll options where mostly ignored and therfore of no interest to you, so nothing I will actively pursue in the future.
Thanks for reading! I wish you a good month of July and a great summer!
